probably the best overview I've seen so far....but the last 2-3 minutes of the video I started to get the feeling that the developers are not very confident in the main part of the game so they decided to create all of these other mini-games and variations to say there's more to it.

it would have been fine with me if they left all of the mini-game stuff out of it.

Granted, some of the side content is a little goofy. But It'll only keep the player interested IMO. I don't think the story is something you can complete in a few sit downs. So I'm guessing they'll be plenty to keep you going.

Totally agree. There's going to be more side content than main content and for this I am very happy.

I love side content. It took me forever to finish Oblivion and Skyrim because I HAD to do as much as possible, I was hooked on all of the side quests but good. I get this way with any game with side content, I get really into it.

Anybody notice the BSOD on the ATM at 1:42? He crashes the XP OS to take over the ATM.

The reason this game is next gen is that it can have a detailed city with detailed texture mapping, even on every skyscraper. And the devs are just starting to play around with giant realistic explosion effects. It is kind of a wonder why there isn't a huge uproar for a video game that has realistic hacking, nudity, and extreme violence. And to think, once people went bat**** crazy over San Andreas Hot Chocolate, lol.

Pacing in wait of Sony's imminent DOOM!...since 2006

It's an open world game, of course there will be side content. There's only so much you can do before they feel repetitive. Do you think the developers were not confident in gta5, red dead redemption, or others?

IMO, side content is great when it actually applies to the overall story/world...Skyrim is a great example of a game where all of the side content kept you immersed in the world, leveling up and what not within the boundries of the Elder Scrolls world...but for me, side content that doesn't really relate to the story/world or help you advance your character in any way is just a waste of time..do I really want to play an arcade style jump from rooftops and collect items as side content?..not really...for the 3-6 months the developers took to probably create these mini-games, I would have rather them spend the time optimizing the game or something more practical...(again, this is just my opinion)

The game has been in development for more than 5 years and has been delayed once already. It's been as "optimized" as much as they need to. The single player has already been mentioned as being quite long, and the side content will push it over 100 hours. I think you are making a big deal out of nothing honestly. Just enjoy the game and don't worry about side content that 99% of players will enjoy. You are in the minority on this.
